If you’re a fan of Bill Willingham’s amazing Eisner award-winning comic book series Fables, then you’ve probably heard the recent announcement that the DC/Vertigo series is being developed for the silver screen. Here’s our list of dream casting for the upcoming Fables movie! Continue reading
One of the best films you’ll likely see this year plays at the Revue in Toronto tomorrow night for free and for one night only. This Is Martin Bonner is a striking and charming human drama about the nature of loneliness that never wallows in misery and features two of the year’s biggest standout performances. You should probably make time to see this one. Continue reading
Enter for a chance to win one of five copies of The Gatekeepers on DVD, courtesy of Dork Shelf and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Continue reading
Don’t feel like braving the crowd at Yonge and Dundas square tonight? Then bomb around town and listen to some of these lovely ladies on what I’ve declared as the unofficial NXNE Ladies night. Continue reading
Sweet, small, goofy, and surprisingly accessible, Joss Whedon’s low-fi version of Much Ado About Nothing probably ranks as one of the most breezily entertaining Shakespeare adaptation ever splattered all over a big screen. Continue reading
We sit down with Canadian actor Anthony Lemke, star of the Space airing mini-series Exploding Sun (who will also be seen later this month in the blockbuster-to-be White House Down) about what makes disaster movies special, what it takes to credibly sound like an astrophysicist, and if people still recognize him as RoboCop’s son, Continue reading
We talk to director Robert Pilichowski, director of the NXNE premiering documentary All Out War, about getting to the heart and soul of the individual B-Boys outside of their crews. Continue reading
The Great Chameleon further proves that local theatres need to stop giving theatrical runs for any asshole with a chequebook who thinks they have a movie. Giving this shit even ten minutes of my time is fucking generous. Continue reading
Our latest round-up of home video offerings takes a look at the new release of Disney’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, and new Blu-Rays for classics Medium Cool, National Lampoon’s Vacation, Safety Last!, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, and… Airheads. Continue reading
Some more recommendations for Day 2 of nxne including local rappers Wordburglar and D-Sisive, the post modern T. Nile, and blue grass boys Union Duke. Continue reading
Although it might be still somewhat of an unsubtle disappointment, Man of Steel offers enough action and promise for the future, particularly from Henry Cavill in the lead and even from Zack Snyder in the director’s seat. Still, someone needs to tell Christopher Nolan (and by extension actual hired writer David S. Goyer) to stop putting his very specific and far too serious spin on DC titles. Continue reading
After the vitriolic horror of the Red Wedding last week, Game of Thrones finished off its third season by reminding us that while some of its central heroes have been removed from play, the war of the kings is still in full effect, with old and new players alike positioning themselves for the next power play. Continue reading
We chat with Steve Niles about man vs. monsters in his new series Breath of Bones. Continue reading
We talk with actor Alexis Denisof about re-teaming with Joss Whedon for the low-key Shakespearean adaptation Much Ado About Nothing, getting back to his acting roots, and how the on set friendship of everyone involved informed the characters. Continue reading
With the film portion of this year’s 19th annual NXNE festival kicking off this Thursday, we take a look at six of this years offerings: All Out War, Mistaken for Strangers, BB King – The Life of Reily, The Rolling Stones – Charlie is My Darling – Ireland 1965, Filmage – The Story of Descendants/ALL, and Global Groove Network. Continue reading
This Saturday, the TIFF Bell Lightbox will have a special sing-along to R. Kelly’s labyrinthine Trapped in the Closet saga (the first 22 parts, anyway). But what is it that makes this kitschy R&B phenomenon so popular? Continue reading

There’s no logical reason why Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s directorial debut This is the End should work outside of containing sheer, overpowering amounts of talent in front of the camera. It becomes more than the mere trifle most would expect it to be on the surface and instead becomes the funniest comedy so far this summer and one of the seasons most pleasant, yet foul-mouthed surprises. Continue reading
The search for the best possible Superman movie continues with the entertaining, but still rather flawed (and easily nitpicked by fans) franchise reboot. Continue reading
The war of the kings is still in full effect, with old and new players alike positioning themselves for the next power play. Continue reading

The East is a movie that challenges our ideals and preconceived notions about how we live our lives and the kind of excesses that occur on a daily basis when we turn a blind eye to in order to maintain blissful ignorance. Continue reading
We sit down with writer and actress Brit Marling and Canada’s own Ellen Page to talk about their work on the new thriller The East! Continue reading
